Seeing what is being taken off as you go. > > **Cons**: Need to update the fiberglass duct off to include 1 1/2" ductboard. > > Great system and great customer support. ----- ### "Hausman Metal Works & Roofing INC. FastDUCT Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *6 May 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The FastDUCT software is easy to learn \& operate and the customer service department gets a big A+. Our Shop uses tons of drawing / bidding programs and FastDUCT has some of the best customer service we've encountered. > > **Cons**: After using the software for close to 6 months there are no complaints, all positive feedback from our shop. > > There is a bit of a learning curve which is very usual when it comes to learning a new software. Any questions / thoughts we had as a shop were answered within the day, which is why I recommend FastDUCT to anyone in the sheet metal industry. Their team goes above and beyond to lend a helping hand at any time (within reasonable hours). ----- ### "Sheet metal Commerical use." — 3.0/5 > **Thomas** | *11 November 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is really easy to use. It save a lot of time and you can teek it to match most of your needs. > > **Cons**: You are unable to create your own catalogs and pricing. Some of fast Duct prices are way out of line. An example would be to insert a metalbetsos catalog ,or a norfab. Also the workbook they provide is full of errors that take time to fix. > > The one biggest benefit of this program is the time it saves. ----- ### "Excellent software" — 5.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *1 November 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product has all the bells and whistles you need, fast and easy to learn, on screen takeoff, and the ability to customize to suit your style of working. The people there are always ready to answer questions when the need arises. This product along with Fastpipe is used daily by me and I highly recommend you give it a try. > > **Cons**: I can't think of any at the time of this review. This product has it all covered. > > FastDUCT overall is an excellent choice to make if you want speed and detail. The price is also very reasonable ----- ### "FastDuct is a quick and intuitive estimating tool" — 5.0/5 > **Bruce** | *27 October 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to make a multitude of different takeoffs/sections for a project > > **Cons**: The Quick Pick Menu could be better customizable ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/120172/fastest-fastduct?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/120172/fastest-fastduct) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
